Further to my problem installing Bio::DB::Utilities.

Below is a chunk of the the output near the top of the material that plays out during attempted installation using CPAN


Running make for C/CJ/CJFIELDS/Bio-EUtilities-1.73.tar.gz
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ----
----    CJFIELDS/Bio-EUtilities-1.73.tar.gz   ----
    inc::TestHelper [build_requires]
Running install for module 'inc::TestHelper'

  The module inc::TestHelper isn't available on CPAN.

  Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is
  temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out
  more about the status. Try 'i inc::TestHelper'.
  

inc::TestHelper is not listed as a module in CPAN


cpan[5]> i inc::TestHelper                                                                          
Module id = inc::TestHelper
    CPAN_VERSION undef
    CPAN_FILE    N/A
    INST_FILE    (not installed)

It is, however, a file that has been downloaded as part of the Utilities 1.7.3 CPAN download

/Users/wgallin1/.cpan/build/Bio-EUtilities-1.73-lE1tKP/inc/TestHelper.pm

So for some reason CPAN is not recognizing the presence of this module, and since it is listed as a dependency it is failing the install.

Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?
